The path to converged networking has to date been driven mostly from the networking side of the street. While we can argue whether Fiber Channel over Ethernet is more Fibre Channel or Ethernet, there’s no argument that Cisco’s been its biggest cheerleader. Qlogic’s new Fabric Freedom product line provides a more storage centric and incremental path to converged networking by supplying ports that can switch between 16Gbps Fibre Channel or 10Gbps Ethernet, with or without FCoE, as your data center evolves.
